My parents were trying to get me to sign a petition the other day... Though I see people have signed it with porno names and all sorts!
at www.protectmarriage.org.nz to 'protect the definition of marriage in NZ'.
My mother was none to pleased when I instantly retorted 'The definition was ruined when the women stopped being the chattels!'
What other species on the planet has a bit of paper, some gold bands and imaginary friends to worship, instead of simply mating (pairing up) for life?
I wonder what Mr Tamaki's "certificates" look like and does he provide the wedding rings with an image of him engraved into them?

It's nice to hear your opinions but you should be aware that:
a) Transexuality isn't homosexuality. With the likes of Fa'afafine is considered a normal natural third gender in some pacific island cultures.
b) Generally the first time people see obese, anorexically thin, handicap, or ugly people they often think 'ewww' - infact as kids when we see hetero adults 'make out' we think 'eww'. Should that mean they shouldn't be involved with marriage?
c) Marriage has been evolving from its original form over time. A man used to be able to have many wives, have concubines, and the women had to be subservient to the man. People from different cultures/religions/races couldn't marry. Since it has evolved so much, is it 'still sacred' and how can opening it up to two consenting adults that love each other break that sacredness?
d) How sacred is marriage? Divorce destroys its sacredness. Was Kim Kardashian's 72 day marriage that made her how many million dollars sacred? What about Britney Spears 55 hour marriage sacred? Does Larry King's 8 divorces mean that his 9th marriage was a sacred as his first?
e) Homosexuality isn't unnatural. I learnt that while I travelled through Africa and saw it with my own eyes in the animal kingdom in the wild. That helped me get over my own homophobia. It exists throughout history and throughout all of nature.
My opinion that any consenting adults whom wish to commit to each other for life should be able to do so. I applaud anyone that can find partners that they believe they can do that with. It is their commitment and fidelity that makes it sacred.
Thank you.
a) true
b) we chose to think that hetro making out is eeeew. Must have been 'normal' back in the day when all lived in a single room.
c) marriage is man and woman, one or more. As to equality that attitude is more Roman or middle eastern, other europian cultures such as the celts saw equality between the sexes and this is one of the reasons the romans called them barbiarians. The Romans were also the culture that insisted on the single wife. The Greeks also only wanted a single, totally dominated wife, as they saw it as "woman for business, boys for pleasure"
d) Kim is still legally married as the divorce isn't settled. Hollywood has always used marriage for ratings. As far as scared goes it was only since the protestant revolution that line has been pushed, before that it was a concept without a big church input.
e) true and they should be allowed the same rights under the civil union, marriage should remain a hetrosexual word.

Dead silence as usual...
Why can't certain people on here see how ridiculous they look when challenged to back up their sillioness with facts they invariably fail?
As I said to Madness, quote me and criticise what I actually said, prove you understand what I have written. Again, even when I explained that I was criticising "those who publicly support homsexuality yet personally find it repulsive," a member or two seemed to think I was saying "Everyone hates homosexuality." even though I said "including some members here."
Nope, certain people much prefer to make fools of themselves in a vain attempt to personally ridicule...
I have even stated my own personal view, but of course that wasn't good enough either, it was studiously, (!), ignored.
Still it makes for amusement and if it strokes their desperate egos it must be doing some good...

Au contraire my dear chap. I say what I mean and no-one cares to actually address what I say, they prefer to insinuate what I might be meaning and of course if they were forced to quote me and rationally address the actual quote, they would fail miserably. They know this.
It is human to read more into a statement than is there, but those who do, often shoot themselves in the foot by backing themselves into a corner where they either have to put up or shut up. Unfortunately certain people on here can't do either.

breeding a race of brown superhumans to take over the world with Jeeeeebl and Pope Tamaki. Its the new crusades.
The best thing I read about that fucker lately was he has been losing "market share" to the other two churches that he competes with. I can't remember the names but maybe City and something something. But they all just prey on stupid fuckers. I feel sorry for the children brainwashed into any cult, including this one.
